## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

PASSING OVER KACZ/HENDERSON FIELD THE ENGINE MADE A MUFFLED SOUND AND LOST POWER.  THE ECU-A FAIL AND ECU-B FAIL ERRORS APPEARED SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND THE ENGINE STAYED AT NEAR IDLE SPEED.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
